Description
Overview
Original passenger frontal airbag module for the Citroën Xsara in color code FZL – Ouragan Grey. This is an OEM used PSA part carrying product numbers 9642313680 and 8216G2. Its accurate color match and correct connector layout make it a practical choice for repairs that preserve both occupant safety and interior appearance.
Compatibility and Application
Designed specifically for the Citroën Xsara dashboard in FZL (Ouragan Grey). Before ordering, compare the part numbers, connector type and mounting points with your original module. Note: this item is marked NFP (No Further Production), so new replacements are often unavailable, making correctly matched used modules desirable for older vehicles. Do not confuse with the Xsara Picasso model, which uses different dashboard components and airbag modules.
Function And Common Reasons For Replacement
The passenger airbag is a key element of the vehicle’s passive safety system, deploying in a frontal impact to protect the occupant from collision with the dashboard. Replacement is required after deployment, if the airbag cover or module is damaged, following intrusive dashboard repairs, or when the airbag control unit reports faults (for example internal igniter error or open circuit). Long-term causes of module failure can include water ingress, corrosion of connectors, physical damage or prior improper repairs.
Installation And Safety Guidelines
Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician because the airbag is a pyrotechnic safety component. Always disconnect the vehicle battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow residual system voltage to dissipate before any handling. Do not connect measurement instruments directly to airbag firing circuits. The module is typically fastened from the rear to the dashboard reinforcement; after fitting, verify the system with diagnostic equipment (e.g. Lexia/Diagbox) and clear any stored fault codes. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures during removal and refit.
How To Verify Compatibility
Confirm compatibility primarily by matching the original part number (9642313680 or 8216G2) and the color code FZL. Additionally inspect connector pinout, plug shape and mounting points on the dashboard. When possible, cross-check the VIN in a PSA parts catalog to ensure exact fit and full function of the restraint system.
